It is said that to succeed in life or business, you need to judge people well. So, how can we accurately assess others? Instead of focusing solely on the individual, consider their environment. Isn’t it often said that you can gauge a person by their friends? Another useful indicator is their financial disposition—the tendency to spend rather than earn. Attitude toward spending money reveals a significant, if not the most important, part of their character. By examining the environment around the person, it becomes easier to understand their true nature. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The phenomenon where an organization prioritizes self-interest over cooperation between departments is called the silo effect. A silo refers to a chimney-shaped grain storage warehouse, named for its high, stacked walls that isolate it from the outside. If someone controlled the opening by creating only one funnel-shaped outlet at the bottom of the storage room, they could monopolize the grain. This phenomenon often arises when there are ‘irreplaceable talented individuals’ in an organization, which presents a challenge for a boss desiring to develop such individuals. It undermines all the positive functions of the organization. Exceptional individuals organize their impressive performance so that the organization can sustain that performance even in their absence. Misusing talent can ruin a business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
